Vibes, Ego, and a $7 Billion Strike on Iran

A recording from Olivia of Troye and THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali's live video

In this episode, I join THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali to break down the chaos unfolding in Trump’s latest foreign policy gamble: a unilateral military strike on Iran with no congressional approval, no credible intelligence presented, and no real plan for what comes next.

We cover:

  • Why Trump’s ego—not strategy—drove this decision.

  • What I saw during the Iraq War and how this moment dangerously parallels it.

  • The intelligence failures, disinformation, and long-term risks.

  • Why Iran will play the long game—and what that means for American troops, diplomacy, and the safety of our homeland.

  • The terrifying consequences of Trump surrounding himself with conspiracy theorists and sycophants, not national security professionals.

  • The growing break inside MAGA over war, and why even some of Trump’s own base is waking up.

This isn’t just an episode—it’s a warning of what’s to come.

Hope you’ll tune in—Plus Lev Parnas makes an appearance to talk Putin’s role in pulling the puppet strings on all of it!

The Left Hook is a thoroughly opinionated and biased intellectual playground for people who enjoy political, cultural, and religious hot takes without corporate censorship and nonsense centrism.
